Forms :: Open Form From (Edit List Items) Option In Data Entry Mode
Feb 4, 2014
I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?

I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.

I want to use the same form in datasheet mode for data entry and retrieval. When retrieving, all controls are disabled and locked. I am trying to enable and unlock them for modifying but that isn't working.
<code>
DoCmd.OpenForm "PO_Practice Data", , , , acFormEdit, acHidden
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!PO_Name.Locked = False
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Enabled = True
Forms![PO_Practice Data]!Practice_Name.Locked = False
[code]...

I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty
Then Me.Dirty = False
End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?

I'm creating user form items (text boxes/combo boxes) for a user to enter data in. In this case it would be for a part. What I would like to happen is, if there is more than 1 part, then after the first part is entered, another part entry item is added below the first one but only if the first one has a value - for a virtually unlimited amount of parts. BUT if there is only say, one part to be entered, then the next section of selection appears directly below the blank next part. Sooo, something like this.......
Invoice:
Part1: (THE PART HERE)
Part2: (THE PART HERE)
Part3: (THE PART HERE)
...
...
...
...
Partn: (THE PART HERE) - blank
(aButtonThatProcessesThis)
OR.........
Invoice:
Part1: (THE PART HERE)
Part2: (THE PART HERE) - blank
(aButtonThatProcessesThis)
Is this possible?

Hi guys,
I've got a table (called table1), which a select query (called qryTable1) read it and is referenced in a form (called frmTable1).
So now my form display fields of the query of the table.
On the form, below the text boxs for data entry, there is a subform that displays the entire table - table1.
I've done this so I can see some fields of the old data, that helps me to enter new ones. Hope u follow so far...
---
This where I'm stuck. When I was half way entering data in the top section of the form (ie using text boxes), if I go to the subform below to copy some values from a field, ACCESS then either adds a new or edit the record. I'm wondering if there is a way to stop ACCESS automatically doing this? I want to be able to add a record when THE add record button is depressed, and that's the only way to add record.
Please do help..

I have the main form open up where the Data entry is set to YES so it opens in New Field. I created a button to change the value of form's Data Entry to NO. It works. Changed the form so I can navigate through entered fields. I have created a drop down to filter a specific field "Claim#" and it will open that entry.
The drop down only works if I set the default form's Data Entry to NO. Dropdown works and I can select Claim#. But if I open the form with DataEntry set to Yes, and I click on the button to change the value to NO, the form changes but the drop down field does not pull up the proper information. The button code is.
Private Sub EditButton_Click()
Form_MainForm.Form.DataEntry = False
End Sub
The Claim drop down has this event after update
Private Sub ClaimSearch_AfterUpdate()
Me.Requery
End Sub
I'm missing something. Like I said, it works without having the button change the value.

I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.
When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.
I do not understand why?
I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....

I have a form containing a subform. The subform is opened in data entry mode, so it displays no existing records. However if the user right-clicks the form and selects a sort, all records are displayed. Is there any way to stop this behavior so that the form remains in data entry mode?

I have a database I am using to record financial transactions. I have a transaction edit/entry form that uses combo box lists to select the different segments of my 32 digit account numbers. The issue I am running into is that when I enter a value value in the first box/field the form jumps to the very first record.I then can use the navigation buttons to get back to the last record, and all the subsequent boxes/fields work fine without jumping to a different record.

MS Access 2010 accdb - Using TempVars open forms either for New Record or Edit Record.
Two sets of forms - One set works perfect but the other will not accept the criteria for New Record
MsgBox checks confirm the Variables are still valid in the 2nd form Open Event yet the If Then does not work.
Just before the If Then, an invalid use of Null message appears.

Is there any setting that I can use that will make a form always open to a new entry?
I don't want people to be able to edit the form.
On the form I have created a New form button and a Save and clear button, but i would prefer it to be that when they open the form its always a new entry and when they hit save it just save and clears and comes back to a new entry form.
These are my buttons.
Code:
Private Sub Command103_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
End Sub
Private Sub Command90_Click()
RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Me.Requery
End Sub

I have a subform where records can be added or edited. There are two fields: firstname and lastname. I want a message box to appear when a first or last name is edited.
I do not want that message box to appear when a new name is being added. I use this code:
[CODE]....
Now I want to also prevent the user from leaving a record before both fields have data (first and last name are required). My efforts to do this seem to conflict with my message box issues.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong or how to do this?

I have a form which saves to a database correctly. It has a key field name called "code".
I can recall the data into a copy of the first form to edit by using the key field "code".
All works well, however, when I click save data from the edit form it does not alter the original data but creates another form but with the same key field called code.

I have a table called "Workorders" that I have created a split form for and have customised it so that it had combo boxes etc to enable the user to change the record data.I then needed to add some existing queries to the form so that I could calculate some totals from records in a few other tables. This all works fine EXCEPT that I can no longer change any of the fields in the records.
I am sure that it is something to do with the fact that the 3 queries I added to the form use the "Grouped by" option and based upon my Googling, this is probably the issue.Here is one of the queries:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [Workorder Labor].WorkorderID, Sum([BillableHours]*[BillingRate]) AS [Labor Total]
FROM [Workorder Labor]
GROUP BY [Workorder Labor].WorkorderID;
I need to have the totals and I also need to have the ability to change the data..

I have a form that lists records in a table. I would like to have a hyperlink beside each record that will open the data entry form and navigate to that specific record. Right now, the use can only open the form for all records and has to use the record navigation buttons to find the desired record.

I have a simple data base with 2 tables. One table is the pertinent Employee data. That includes a EmployeeID that I contrived myself with the first 4 letters of the FIRST NAME and the first 3 letters of the LAST NAME.
how to make the program do that automatically when I enter the employee's first and last name.I have a form that sits overtop this table to populate the data. It's got some test date in it now c/w hand and manually calculated EmployeeID.
So now I figured out how to make the program do that calculation automatically. So why when I cruse over the records and tab through the fields and the form shows the new EmployeeID, it doesn't update the table for that field?

I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL. (I would like to position the popup so that the contents of the Address and Postal Code fields are still visible on the form). I would also like to know if there is a way to copy the contents of the Address Field in my program to the Windows Clipboard, using VBA code, so that I can paste it into the Postal Code Finder without highlighting the field contents and pressing Ctrl-C.

I have a form that is locked unless they click the command button to edit records. I want a msg box that when they click the close button it pops up with something like save edits? Just as an extra precaution. But I only want the message box to pop up if the form is in edit mode. Is this possible? And I would like to be able to have them click ok or cancel in the message box
Here is the code for the close button:
Private Sub Close_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Close_Click
DoCmd.Close
Exit_Close_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Close_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Close_Click
End Sub
Thanks

On a form I have a listbox that allows me to navigate around my records. The listbox is filtered and I get the redords that I waqnt from the table.My problem is that when I open the form the record that is showing is one from the table but not one that is in my listbox. I want it to show the first record in the listbox...This is the command I have on open:
Code:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , "", acFirst
which is where the fault lies, but I dont know what I should put in its place. The list is List273 and the form is frm_Profile

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
